Article updated onAugust 27, 2024, by Benjamin Joe:The release of 7 Days To Die Version 1.0 has given the game a new lease on life. New players on PC and console are opting to download and dive into all that the game has to offer. While there aren’t a lot of modding options for console players, there are lots of things that players can add to the game on PC. Not only that, but just like most other PC games, 7 Days To Die allows players to enter console commands to change their gameplay.
Spawning extra zombies is great for fun and for testing. By having a world dedicated to console commands, players can spawn zombies to test out their base designs and traps without running the risk of dying and losing valuable progress.
How To Spawn Zombies
Step:
Thankfully, thoughthe game has many excellent mods,they aren’t needed to spawn zombies. The first step to spawning zombies is to enter debug mode. To begin this process, press “F1.” This opens a console on the screen, allowing the player to type commands into it. Type “dm” (this stands for debug mode) and hit “Enter.” Now hit “F1” again, and finally hit “F6” to open the spawn menu.
The player should make sure they are facing the place they would like the zombies to spawn since spawns will appear in the position marked by the player’s crosshair.The spawn list includes dozens of different enemies,from Wolves and Bikers to Burnt Ferals and Radiated Zombie Vultures, so the player has plenty of choices tostretch even the best perks to their limits.
Once the player has chosen their desired spawn, they only need to select it from the menu and then press either “Escape” or “F6” to close the menu. Zombies spawned through the debug menu default to facing away from the player. If the player wants the zombie to spawn facing them instead, there’s an easy solution: a button marked “Look At You,” located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu. Now the zombie will at least get to look at whatevercool modded weaponthe player decides to blast them with.
How To Spawn More Zombies
For many players, spawning just one zombie isn’t enough. Players who want a zombie horde can spawn them into the game one by one, but doing so is a tedious process. Fortunately,the game comes equipped with an easy solution for generating massive hordes of the walking deadon which to testthe game’s best weapons. Located in the upper-left corner of the spawn menu, just below the “Look At You Option,” is a button marked “Spawn 25.” This does exactly what the player would expect, spawning 25 copies of the currently selected creature.
Spawning a horde of zombies in an instant is a fun and easy way to get some target practice, but it’s important to remember to turn off the “Spawn 25” option once it has been activated if the player moves on to other spawns. Since this option doesn’t automatically switch off between spawn selections, it’s easy for the player to accidentally spawn a gaggle of NPCs or more motorcycles than they couldsource the gasoline for.
Useful Command Tips
Being able to spawn 25 enemies at the press of a button is a great feature that can save players a lot of time. That said, there are some other useful things that players can utilize thanks to console commands. First, if the player has activated the debug menu (the prompt that is needed to be able to spawn zombies), then they will automatically have access to some special features on the pause menu.
Provided debug mode is enabled, players can go into the pause menu and toggleeffects like god mode, fly mode, invisibility, and more.These are great as they don’t require any codes, simply toggle the buttons on and off to get your desired effect. Also, from here, you’ll have access to the POI Teleporter. As its name suggests, this feature allows the player to instantly travel to any location on the map.
All you need to do is type in the name of the building or location and select the place you want to visit. This is great for those wanting to explore certain areas while in god mode. While doing all of these things is a lot of fun, it’s important to note that you won’t be able to unlock achievements while in debug mode or creative mode.
